These look right. But the description makes me think that the cost might warrant some guarantee on the seller's part. With good pictures at hand, things may become clearer already. Lovely clasp, too...
I am not sure if their GIA degree is all it takes to be certain of ID. GIA has a bunch of diplomas and they are used in various ways, unfortunately
Of course, I have n clue who the seller is. perhaps their reputation is indeed more then enough. What do I know!
I wouldn't put my faith in an Xray with the dentist. A lab or appraiser's work on the pearl (i.e. neutral third party ID) sounds like a reasonable proposition though. Wouldn't the seller agree to organize such intermediation? Even if you paid for the testing? That's usually accepted...
[PS. sure you knw that for all the bold language I am no expert. Just saying what I'd know for myself.]
